一、Background Introduction Hanfu is one of the representatives of traditional Chinese clothing, with a unique style and design. Throughout the long history of China, Hanfu has undergone corresponding evolution and improvement in different periods.

The square-neck dress usually has a relatively larger neckline; therefore, girls with bigger or rounder faces can choose a square-neck dress to modify their face shape. Wearing a square-neck dress exposes the neck and surrounding skin, horizontally elongating the shoulder proportion, making the face appear narrower and achieving the effect of visually altering the face shape. The square-neck dress is not fattening; it exposes a large area of the collarbone and shoulders and can appropriately adjust the shoulder proportion, making one look slimmer. You can choose a solid color style for the square-neck dress, which will be simpler and more elegant, or you can choose a printed style to make it look prettier. In daily life, we often see some girls who really like to wear black dresses. Because a black dress makes one look slimmer, and we also find that black dresses are very versatile; no matter what kind of coat you wear over them, they always look particularly good.

Today, we're sharing how to make a Hanfu clothing: Song Dynasty shirt. Let's DIY your own Hanfu. Sketch The characteristics of the Song-shirt are long sleeves and front opening.

The waist-level ruqun is a type of ruqun, wearable by both men and women. As the skirt waist aligns with the waist, it is called "waist-level ruqun". This type of Hanfu's upper garment can be divided into cross-collar or straight-collar (cross-front). Cross-collar refers to a Y-shaped neckline with ties on the right side; straight-collar has two ties on either side that can be tied at the front. Therefore, the waist-level ruqun can be further categorized into cross-collar waist-level ruqun and straight-collar waist-level ruqun. The waist-level ruqun accentuates one's figure, especially those with slender waists will have a unique charm when wearing it. However, I do have a small suggestion: How should I put this? I am also 50 inches tall and weigh just under 90 pounds but close to it. When I first got into Hanfu, my favorite was the chest-level ruqun and this type of cross-collar waist-level ruqun. My first piece of Hanfu was a chest-level ruqun. Later, I planned to buy a waist-level one, but a friend said it wouldn't suit me because I am relatively short and wearing a waist-level would make me look like I have a 50-50 body ratio, which isn't attractive. So, I abandoned…

Hanfu is one of the traditional Chinese costumes. In the various types and styles of Hanfu clothes, how to choose a suit for yourself according to your figure? What problems should we pay attention to when selecting? Only by choosing a suitable Hanfu for yourself can the beauty of Hanfu be fully displayed. Next, we will take a look at the characteristics of several different styles and shapes of Hanfu to see how to choose a suit for ourselves. 1. Qixiong Ruqun Many people who love Hanfu especially like Qixiong Ruqun. So what kind of person is more suitable for Qixiong Ruqun? A. Slim girls are more suitable for Qixiong Ruqun, because the super high waist Hanfu on the chest can visually lengthen your body lines, make you look taller and more imposing. B. Girls with smaller breasts are more suitable for Qixiong Ruqun, because when girls with big breasts wear a full length Ruqun, their breasts will hold up the part under the skirt, which will make people feel pregnant and give them a feeling of bloated. And the girl with smaller chest will look more charming and lovely. Qixiong Ruqun 2. Qiyao Ruqun Qiyao Ruqun can be divided…

Another type that complements the "cross-collar" is the "straight-collar" and the "round-collar". The straight-collar refers to a neckline that directly falls vertically from the chest without crossing at the front. Some have ties at the chest while others are left open without any ties. This type of straight-collar garment is generally worn over cross-collar Hanfu as an outerwear, such as overcoats, half-sleeve garments, and robes, which are common in daily outerwear styles. The round-collar is more commonly seen in men's clothing, with a circular collar shape similar to a plate, also right-side dominant, with ties on the right shoulder. It was adopted in official costumes during the Han and Tang dynasties, and there were also round-collar styles in everyday clothing. In terms of clothing colors, they may not strictly adhere to the official regulations: officials of the first to fourth ranks wore bright red, fifth to seventh ranks wore greenish-blue, and eighth rank and below wore green. Generally, casual attire for officials was mostly dark blue or sky blue, with some green. For official attire with hats, bright red was more common. For example, in historical dramas, we often see scholars and top-ranked scholars wearing bright red official attire, however,…

With the rise of Hanfu culture, more and more people like Hanfu, and many people want to try to wear Hanfu once. Today, I'd like to introduce some Chinese Hanfu styles to look slim, so that maybe you can avoid the trouble of selection. 01 - Tan-collar If I say what is the thinnest shape in all the Hanfu, the first thing I think about is the Tan-collar (坦领). This is a form of the Tang Dynasty. Now many stores have also made recovery suits. Wearing these recovered Tan-collar is really like putting the whole Tang Dynasty's prosperous atmosphere on them, which looks very luxurious. The upper half of the Tan-collar Hanfu is composed of two jackets with a large neckline, one Banbi (半臂), and one long sleeve, so it will be more layered. For girls, Tan-collar is really friendly. 02 - Ming's long shirt In addition to the Tang's Tan-collar, the Ming's long shirt also looks slim. Although most of the Ming's Han suits are very loose, they don't look bloated at all. Because the general length of the long shirt can reach the knee a little bit up. Compared with the coat, this length is relatively long. In…

As an integrated cultural system, Hanfu can contain totally different expressions at the same time. The ancient traditional Hanfu is a way of expression, and the daily Hanfu with modern style is also a way of expression. We should treat the traditional and modern Hanfu with an inclusive attitude. Now let’s take a look at the differences between traditional and modern Hanfu? The traditional dress of Han Dynasty is elegant, like a cloud of immortals. Modern Hanfu pays more attention to the beauty in details. After all, the pursuit of “beauty” may be one of the reasons why young people like Hanfu. Therefore, the current Hanfu is not limited to restoration, but focuses more on the beauty and convenience. Traditional Hanfu Modern Hanfu Neckline: Traditional Hanfu: in the Ming Dynasty, because of the cold weather at that time, the cross collar design of the jacket was very high, almost covering the whole neck. Modern Hanfu: but the jacket and collar of the current Hanfu are very shallow, more beautiful, and more modern.
